Camp Gifford Cornhole Tournament and Fundraising Dinner

Camp Gifford Cornhole Tournament and Fundraising Dinner

Camp Gifford Cornhole Tournament & Fundraising Dinner to Send Local Kids to Camp
A day of fun, community, and purpose supporting life-changing youth experiences

The The Salvation Army Spokane Corps invites the community to an exciting and meaningful event: the Camp Gifford Cornhole Tournament & Fundraising Dinner, taking place on Friday, May 29, 2026, at beautiful Camp Gifford.

Held at 3846 N Deer Lake Rd, Loon Lake, WA, this event brings together friendly competition, great food, and a powerful mission: to ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience summer camp, regardless of financial barriers.

A Purpose Bigger Than the Game

This event is more than a tournament, it is an investment in children’s lives.

Through the support of sponsors, participants, and donors, proceeds from the event will provide camp scholarships for local youth, giving them access to a safe, faith-centered environment where they can:

Build confidence and resilience
Form lasting friendships
Grow in their faith
Experience the joy of the outdoors
Create memories that shape their future

For many children, Camp Gifford is more than just a summer destination, it is a place of hope, healing, and belonging.
